Bad vibes all around on the timeline, here’s a sweet image of a galaxy that looks like a perfect saucer surrounded by a ghostly halo. You can even see a tidal stream in the lower middle part of the image; this galaxy (M 104) had a snack recently. apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap26052...
Delighted to receive recognition from the Royal Society of Victoria for my contributions to science engagement and education, and to add the initialism FSRV to my name...!
WEHI (The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research)@wehi-research.bsky.social · 3mo agoCongrats to biomedical animator Dr Drew Berry on his induction as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Victoria, recognising his scientific contributions through captivating animations of the molecular and cellular world within our bodies. www.wehi.edu.au/news/royal-s... @drewberry.bsky.social
1/13 So excited to share our new preprint!! How do organelles pack together in a crowded cytoplasm? we know organelles interact via contact sites, but how does competition for space contribute to organelle morphology and interactions? @wallaceucsf.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Excited to share our discovery of a new programmable RNA-guided DNA-targeting system hiding inside bacteriophages that predates CRISPR. We call it VIPR (Viral Interference Programmable Repeat), and it uses an entirely new logic to find its targets. Thread + link below.
Finally learned Celtic visions weave and it’s such a lovely one! I got these really neat smokey quarts briolette tear drops and rounded beads that felt perfect for it. Gonna take some nice photos and post on the store!
Noise is key to evolution; entropy is key to metabolism. We have to stop pretending that biology fights against these things rather than relying on them!
Ricard Solé@ricardsole.bsky.social · 6mo agoCan randomness drive the evolution of microbiomes? In this paper, a new eco-evolutionary framework shows that environmental fluctuations can trigger host-level selection. Stochastic assembly isn’t noise: it’s the key. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... @andreatabi.bsky.social @vmaull.bsky.social

I've seen these animations here and there on the net, but I just found their source: this amazing YouTube channel by @drewberry.bsky.social , which is a goldmine. From malaria lifecycle to signal transduction - full of super cool stuff! youtu.be/Xe-83tBcxhs?...

This weekend we projected cells and filaments on the roof of the @museeorsay.bsky.social in Paris, then we contracted it with a pinch of myosin. And it was fabulous! Grateful to have been part of this art/science project & thx to @manuelthery.bsky.social @lblanchoin.bsky.social & the CytoMorphoLab

Paired with the show, Bob Goldstein created the world's longest microtubule, ascending the Genome Science Building's spiral stairs, to honor Emeritus Professor Ted Salmon
Mark Peifer (He, him)@peiferlabunc.bsky.social · 7mo agoGreat things still happen all around us. Each your UNC Biology's Bob Goldstein and Art's Beth Grabowski co-teach ARTS/BIOL 409, that brings together artists and scientists to explore an intersection of two disciplines. It culminated this year with a remarkable show Friday 1/n
🌟 Merry Christmas from a newborn star. Earlier this year the NASA/ESA/CSA #Webb Space Telescope took this stunning image of HH30, an edge-on protoplanetary disc. 🧪🔭 🔗 esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/Webb/Webb_investigates_a_dusty_and_dynamic_disc
Final version is out! Our large-scale cryo-ET dataset 🔬 of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii 🦠 is now published in @cp-molcell.bsky.social Huge collaborative effort! So glad to see the community already using it to develop new resources & tools. Check it out here: shorturl.at/z4i4c #CryoEM #CryoET
When art meets science! 🤩 Check out Drew's stunning animation of the cellular machinery behind homologous recombination — featuring our favorite DNA repair complex MRN, and other DNA repair heroes! 🧬🔧 @drewberry.bsky.social
SFB1361@sfb1361.bsky.social · 8mo agoLoving @drewberry.bsky.social's beautiful animation of DNA break repair by HR - featuring the MRN complex architecture and function inspired by the research from @hopfnerlab.bsky.social!

#LivingArchitectures We put cells and cytoskeleton filaments on the architecture of the musée d'Orsay. www.musee-orsay.fr/fr/agenda/ev... Scientists of the #CytoMorphoLab adapted their protocols to illustrate the questions that keep them awake at night. -> Two shows on the 24th and 25th of January.
Our Science paper is out! Huge congratulations to @huabin-zhou.bsky.social, Mike Rosen, and the brilliant @janhuemar.bsky.social @juliamaristany.bsky.social and @kieran-russell.bsky.social from our group News: bit.ly/4avnkAr and bit.ly/3XBGVHS Great perspective by @vram142.bsky.social +K Zhang

Some cells are just in it for the drama! The bottom 5 microns of cells videoed through a microscope by @EmmaKoory. The middle cell rounds up (for fun?) and subsequently rounds up to divide. We missed so much of the action by just sampling the bottom. @CellBiology
Proteins are dynamic structures, but structural biology often shows them as static snapshots. Inspired by long-exposure photography and generative art, I built ProteinCHAOS, an artistic tool inspired by molecular dynamics to capture protein flexibility over time, much like long-exposure images.
